Course Information

Industry-relevant learning

Advance your financial skills with a Postgraduate Certificate in Financial Markets Analysis.

Explore the workings of capital markets in New Zealand and around the world. Gain an in-depth understanding of the principles, practice, and operations of financial markets. Improve your computer skills and perfect the art of financial modelling.

Offered by the Wellington School of Business and Government, the PGCertFMA is oriented towards applied knowledge, so you gain the crucial industry skills you need to hit the ground running.

What you'll study

You’ll study the principles, practice, and operations of financial markets, and the management of corporate, government, and financial institutions. The aim is to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills you need to succeed in the fast-paced and changeable world of financial markets.

You'll study four courses for this certificate.

How you'll learn

You'll learn through weekly lectures for some courses, and in block format for others. The block courses are designed to give you the flexibility to continue working while you study.

Attending all sessions is compulsory. The block-format courses are held over two sessions, with each block consisting of two and a half days. Before a block, you are responsible for completing all readings and assignments as well as attending tutorials.

Study while you work

Study full-time or part-time. In Trimester 2, classes will be online in the afternoon and evening or in block format so you can study part-time and continue working if you wish.

Each course requires about 10–12 hours of study per week. Many students' demanding professional lives mean they choose to study part-time and only take one or two courses at a time.

For the PGCertFMA, your minimum completion time is one trimester and your maximum is two years.
